Watching the presidential debate got me to thinking if I’d be good in politics. My heart says yes. The numerous Brett Favre and Greg Odenish pics out there of me are telling me no. When I say numerous, I mean enough to have my own porn site. But if me being President would interfere with my work for Razzball I would have to respectfully decline the position. Helping the fantasy football playing nation is in my opinion, of much greater importance than deciding how much to tax the “middle-class.” I, Tehol Beddict, solemnly swear, to lead you to glory in the face of adversity, promise to help you with lineup decisions in your time of need, and to just be there for you as a friend. I’m here for you brothers and sisters. This isn’t soccer or macro brews. This is the land of deep fried butter and kook-aid. This is fantasy football. This is America. Our wives or husbands could leave us. We could forfeit everything we own in a terrible real estate investment. We could squander all of our friendships by verbally abusing them on the fantasy message boards, but when you look on your shelf(or in my case trophy case), and you see that fantasy football championship trophy, you realize it was all worth it. There is no greater feeling on this earth. Make Razzball your choice for fantasy advice this election season. You shall not regret it.

Jeremy Maclin– 1 catch for 7 yards on 3 targets. Jeremy’s spoken. Jeremy’s spoken, on the field todaaaaaaay. And what he told us was that he is obviously nowhere near 100 percent healthy. Either that or the man’s career has regressed further than Nick Nolte and Gary Busey combined. Seriously, have you seen Nolte in any of his latest roles? You can hardly understand him anymore. And to think this once proud peacock of a man was crowned in People Magazine as the”Sexiest Man Alive.” Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Don’t even get me started on Busey. My God.

As far as Maclin is concerned, I would seriously consider benching him until he shows a return to form. Vick wasn’t even looking his way last Sunday as Maclin was seemingly just out there to be a decoy. The term “non-factor” doesn’t even begin to describe what this once Mac-daddy looked like out there. Maybe they could afford to rest him for a few weeks if their third wr wasn’t Jason Avant. I mean seriously, the guy makes Riley Cooper look like Jerry Rice in his prime. Get Avant out of the league please. He’s been stealing money long enough.

Jerome Simpson– 4 catches for 50 yards on 5 targets. The aforementioned targets do not include the two bombs Simpson drew pass interference calls on. The man’s a burner and I highly recommend swooping him off waivers if he’s still there. With Ponder miraculously looking like a legit NFL QB, Simpson will be able to put up some monster performances. He’s the Vikings only deep threat and I feel a Miles Austin type breakout coming on. Yea, I said it, you read it, I’ll never ever regret it. Sorry, I was having a flashback from my male cheerleading days. Don’t be afraid to start him.

Andre Johnson– 3 catches for 56 yards on 6 targets. I suppose 6 targets isn’t such a bad thing, but this has been the trend all season thus far. Maybe they want to preserve Dre Dre for the playoffs and are trying not to overwork him. Maybe Kevin Walter is just a better receiver. That was a joke. But seriously, Houston runs the ball so often, that we may not see many 10 catch, 200 yard games out of Johnson. That’s that stuff I don’t like. See if you can get a WR/RB combo for him.

RandyMoss– 0 catches for 0 yards on 1 target. If anyone is still rostering Moss, you should be whipped for stupidity. I too, was excited about Moss’s comeback, and but he is in no way shape or form rosterable in fantasy at this time. Nor do I think he ever will be. It’s sad seeing former legends get old. I’d compare Moss to someone like Dean Cain. Being remarkably talented, having the elegance of a champion stallion, model looks, and a rocking bod are just a few of things we cherished about Cain. Now the guy strictly does lifetime movies. That’s Moss now. He’s lifetime movie useless.

Lance Moore– 7 catches for 67 yards on 15 targets. If you’re a starting wideout on the Saints, then you are startable period. Moore has never shown himself to be more than marginally talented, I’d say kind of like a Casey Affleck, but he’s playing on a desperate Saints team that will be involved in shoot outs all season long. Like Affleck, he’s just kind of there. He never steals the show. He never wows us. He just does his job and we can’t help but wonder what a more talented replacement would do in his spot. Oh well.

Sidney Rice– 4 catches for 41 yards on 7 targets. RuPaul might play quarterback at a higher level right now than Russell Wilson. This is truly getting out of hand. He’s the only Hawk’s receiver with any semblance of talent and he needs to be force fed the rock. Alas, that doesn’t seem likely. His breakout season with the Vikings seems like decades ago and it’s time for us to move on. Goodnight sweet Sidney. I’ll remember the good times.

Andre Roberts– 6 catches for 118 yards and 2 td’s on 9 targets. Finally, the Cardinals have a viable replacement for Anquan Boldin, and Roberts is that man. Definitely a decent bye week fill in on your roster, so add with confidence. Rookie, Michael Floyd is finally starting to play a bit so maybe Roberts numbers come down, but this past week’s performance is hard to ignore.

Ryan Williams– 13 carries for 26 yards and 1 catch for 0 yards on 2 targets. Uhhhhhhh, what was that? It doesn’t get much more disgraceful than those numbers. Without Beanie Wells around, Williams had the chance to prove himself as a legitimate workhorse on an up and coming team. Instead, he just proved to more worthless than Perez Hilton. Give him one more shot. Not Perez of course, but Williams.

Domenik Hixon– 6 catches for 114 yards on 11 targets. With Nicks being injured and Barden getting his cranium smashed, the Giants have nobody else to turn to. Eli is going to throw the ball, and Hixon is capable of putting up decent numbers so if you’re in a pinch feel safe about starting him.

Jackie Battle– 15 carries for 39 yards and a td and 4 catches for 42 yards and a td on 4 targets. Will he keep this up? Um, how about no, but Battle is a nice goal line finisher and a huge effort guy. He’s pretty much the exact opposite of that cupcake Ryan Mathews. Unfortunately, he’s the opposite talent wise as well, and it’s only a matter of time before Mathews is back to getting the majority of the carries. Then again, Mathews will more than likely get injured in the near future so keep Battle around.

I’m traveling this week and will be enjoying the games from the beautiful Washington State. Don’t worry. I won’t be doing too much sight seeing and will be able to respond to all of your questions within an hour. Make Razzball your choice for fantasy. It’s the right thing to do for our nation.

would you start hixon or aimpaon in a one point ppr? And in another 1 pt. ppr league i am benching Maclin and in betwewn hixon and crabtree. leaning hixon on both what do you think? thank you in advance.

@gung ho, did you mean Simpson on the first question? tough call. I am Higher on Simpson than Most so would probably lean there if thats who you meant. Hixon over Crabtree for sure. Crabtree has been dead weight for years. thanks for reading ho

@Pappas Locos, obviously depends on where their draft pick is etc. who’s available. Rice was supposed to be that guy but I’m gonna need to see some major improvement from him before the year is over, or I’d move on. The rest of the wideouts are an embarrassment. I’m not joking when I say I’d rather have the Brown’s receiving core. and that’s bad.

Good Day,
I am in a quandary between 3 chaps for my flex option in a standard league. The men include Brandon Bolden, Jaquizz Rogers and Kendall Hunter. By the way you are spot on dear sir Jerome Simpson is a steal. Also Owen Daniels is on waivers whould you drop any of the above for his services?

@TheMizer, Good day to you Mizer. Bolden has shown to be the most productive so I would be forced to go that route. I like Rogers but Michael Turner just wont go away. Jacobs is also back for niners making it more complicated. Bolden is the choice. And yes feel free to drop Hunter for Daniels if your feeling it.

I’m thinking of unloading CJ Spills and wondering the level of value I should get in return. I am pretty much a lock to get Doug Martin in return. He has a pretty juicy schedule going forward. But the person also has C. Benson so I’m questioning who to target. Are these reasonable or stay put. My other backs are R. Bush and J Charles.

@Mike, That’s a tough call Mikey. Graham is the best in the biz and I’m sure you drafted him higher then those running backs but sometimes when you’re desperate you got to pull the trig. Ridley has had by far the better season thus far but I believe Murray will turn it around. I you are truly desperate, and don’t have a wideout to trade, I suppose you could do this. Prob have to go Ridley at this point. I’m a Murray owner and am holding on to him but Cowboys look horrible.

Standard Non-PPR league. For rest of season, would you take Simpson or Britt? I have depth now (Marshall, T Smith, M Auston) and don’t need to put anyone in lineup yet. I know Britt is not a good short-term option, but do you see SImpson outperforming him ROS?

@FilthyRich, I do, but it seems I’m on the of the few thinking that way. When Britt plays he always has a shot to go off. I really think Simpson is going to breakout as long as Ponder keeps his shit together.

@James, You have no idea how hard it is for me to say this, but I have to go with Hartline. Cobb is a nice weapon but is much more inconsistent. Then again, with Jennings out, maybe Cobb does more. I’d still go Harty

@Mike, Witten is a decent starter going forward. I love Harvin. Who are your other receivers, just so I’d know who you had left if let him go. I need that info to accurately answer that question, but if you have some other playmakers at wideout, maybe let Harvin go.

Other WR are Cruz,Maclin,Hixon,A Hawkins….
TE is Graham with Witten Backup
Standard league
Also guys like L Moore,A Roberts on waivers..
Hurting for RB as I have Martin and Mcfadded starting
And in last place..
Rodgers is my QB

@Mike, first off, drop Hawkins and pick up Lance Moore. Your two running back should step it up at some point but I can see you’re desperate for production here. Cruz Maclin Moore would be nice if Maclin would get to full strength. Search around and see what the highest bidder will give for Jimmy G, but I’d probably trade Harvin over graham

I think I know the answer just looking for a second opinion. Thanks for your time.

Looking to upgrade at QB but would have to give up my old time NFC south guys Turner and Steve Smith (Car) for Matt Ryan what do you think? Can Matty Ice keep it up all year or is Turner worth holding onto?

@Murph, pretty steep price. Everyone keeps waiting for turner to fall off and dissapear. I’d like to see the rest of your roster but If u are solid everywhere else I don’t see why not. Ryan is working with Se A plus weaponry

Tough is an understatement haha. Yea I think I’m going Murray/Vick because Ryan is playing at such a high level I’m hoping Murray can pick it up after the bye week. Having rice lynch and Murray could be unstoppable if he starts running at his best.

@Mike, yikes! I suppose Thomas has best shot at a short score, even better if they stopped throwing 1 yard tds to graham! Strictly yards based it could actually be hunter somehow haha this could get weird. Im going to lean towards hunter for first and maybe last time in my life

Which trade do you prefer in a 2 RB/3 WR/ 2 R/W/T standard scoring league? I give Benson for Steve L Smith, or I give Morris and Steve Johnson for Steve L Smith and Mike Wallace. I have Forte and Murray at RB and Harvin, Nelson, and Stevie Johnson as my starting WR corps right now. Thanks in advance!

@Dave, picking up Wallace would be real nice but Sir Alfred Morris is killing it. You have two other good running backs though so if you feel it pull the trigga. If not positive then def do the first one no question

Yo Tehol, how’s it shaking? Who would you start at flex this week in a full ppr league, Hartline or CJk? I know the Bengals got all their players on D back and will be looking to prove something, making Hartline a hard start. But you never feel good about putting your game on CJ’s shoulders
